Fantasy Football Player Notes

Williams' season has been disastrous, but it appears he might finally provide the most value right when fantasy owners need him. With a bad LeSean McCoy fumble opening the door for Williams, the veteran shined in Week 9 against the Dolphins, highlighted by a 91-yard touchdown run. He'll still split touches with McCoy and perhaps others, but overall, it's possible he can become a reliable RB2 once again.

Both of the Williams backs for Kansas City were out and LeSean McCoy hasn't been a lead back all season, no matter who was hurt, but it was't Thompson who led the Chiefs in snaps. Instead, it was Spencer Ware. You can't rely on Thompson this week versus Denver.

Considering Josh Jacobs wasn't ruled out early, and was a true game-time decision, it is clearly quite possible that he plays in Week 15. If that were to happen, Washington would be entirely unstartable. With that said, the upside for him this week if Jacobs is out, makes Washington the top pickup of the week. With another 20 touches this week versus the Jags' horrendous defense, we'd legitimately be talking about a fringe-RB1.
